Digitally controlled welding systems track data and save working parameters with ease

Kemppi has released a generation of digitally controlled welding equipment that ensures highly economical and fast deposition rates.

Digitally controlled welding systems track data and save working parameters with ease

Comprising digital controlled power sources, all purpose wire feeders, ‘intelligent’ welding torches and guns, and various accessories, Kemppi Pro Evolution series of welding machines has new high-tech programming features for smarter welding that are simple to operate.

Basic welding machines in the series are the digitally controlled Pro 3200, Pro 4200 and Pro 5200 Evolution power sources.

Built with inverter technology, these multi-functional power sources are geared for all welding methods both in manual and robotic applications.

The equipment is very powerful. Loadability ratings of 320A, 420A or 520A at 100-80% ED are achievable, depending on the model.

In MMA welding, the power source is controlled through PL or PX function panel. In MIG/MAG and pulsed MIG welding the power source is controlled through MIG function panels. No separate function panel for power sources is required.

Ideal for MMA, TIG, MIG/MAG, pulsed MIG, double pulsed MIG welding and carbon arc gouging, each unit in the series has an innovative ‘Pro Weld Data System’ that allows weld parameters to be monitored and recorded on a PC in real time, and thus be used for WPS documentation or continuous control of welding processes.

Operating on an IGBT inverter with high internal control speed provides optimal welding characteristics as well as a stable, spatter-free and quiet arc with all welding methods.

Overall, the ergonomic unit is lightweight and simple to manoeuvre with minimum disturbance.

IN MIG welding applications, a stationary swing arm gives a wider operation area and prevents damage to the torch cable. As it has an inclined torch angle, trouble free welding in the feeder unit is expected.

In situations such as construction sites, large assembly plants, mining maintenance areas and other applications where portability is of key importance, Kemppi Pro Evolution’s inverter technology enables the manufacture of compact power sources.

Overall, the high power factor and efficient power sources minimise operation and installation costs.

Characteristics of the power source, wire feed unit and of the TIG unit can all be changed from the function panels. Power sources can be equipped with PL and PX function panels, and wire feed units with MC, ML and MXE function panels for TIG units, TL and TX function panels are available.

Pro Evolution wire feeders – ProMigs 501, 501L, 511 and 530 have a four-roll feed mechanism to ensure smooth and secure wire movement with thin and soft aluminium wires or thick and hard solid wires,

The automatic wire threading also makes changing the filler wire coil faster. All function panels can be attached to the wire feeders and include time-saving auxiliary functions.

ProMig 530 wire feeder has inclined torch angle. The ergonomic swing arm of ProMig 511 delivers improved operational range, convenient torch support and torch shielding.

ProMig 200 and ProMig 300 are mobile Evolution wire feeders designed for dockyards and heavy metal industry.

ProMig 100 is a compact and highly portable tandem wire feeder for welding up to 30 metres from the main wire feeder.

For excellent and stable arc ignition in TIG welding, ProTig 400HF has basic and special functions panel which also stores welding parameters. Attached to the top of the power source, this unit can be transported to the workplace in its standard frame.

Welding parameters are further improved by ‘intelligent’ TIG welding torches and MIG welding guns.

Water-cooled PMT MIG guns can be equipped with an RMT 10 regulator for synergic MIG or pulsed-MIG welding.

This regulator can also select the required pre-programmed welding parameters directly from the workplace while the arc is burning.

The Kemppi Pro Evolution list of accessories includes water cooler, transport units, intermediate cables and remote controls.
